Joseph L. “Short” Crosby, 89, died Wednesday, February 2, 2011 in Carl Vinson Medical Center in Dublin. Mr. Crosby was a native and lifelong resident of Appling County and was born Feb. 1, 1922 to the late Lyman and Minnie Carter Crosby. He was a member of Satilla Baptist Church. Short was a World War II U.S. Army survivor – POW. He was a farmer until the age 89 and an avid gardener. Short liked growing in which he enjoyed giving away and loved his roses. Mr. Crosby was preceded in death by his wife, Marcell Crosby and a granddaughter, Tina R. Crosby.

Funeral services were held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 5 at Satilla Baptist Church with the Rev. Tommy Davis officiating. Eulogy was given by Robyn Berrigan. Interment followed in the church cemetery.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Crosby family. I only met Mr. Short on a few occasions, he was a delightful man.

Mr. Short my you rest in peace and thank you for the service you provided your country and the kind words you shared with a stranger.
